Hired Attorney 2026

Recommends this Attorney

I truly cannot say enough about Lavonna or how much of a difference she has made for me and my family. I actually started my case with a different attorney and firm, and by the time I found Lavonna, I felt completely defeated. I was unhappy with my representation, overwhelmed, and honestly starting to believe that feeling unheard and helpless was just part of going through family court. Then I hired Lavonna, and everything changed. For the first time, I felt like I had someone beside me who truly understood my case, paid attention to the details, and knew exactly how to advocate for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, honest, and powerful when she needs to be, but she is also compassionate and genuinely cares about the people she represents. Lavonna has never just told me what I wanted to hear. She tells me what I need to hear, explains why, and makes sure I understand what we're doing and where we're going. Most importantly, she gave me something I had completely lost before finding her: hope. This has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, and I can genuinely say that having Lavonna by my side has made all the difference. I finally know what it feels like to have an attorney I completely trust fighting for me and my family. I will forever be grateful that I found her. If you're going through something difficult and wondering whether having the right attorney really makes a difference, it absolutely does.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
